Chapter 169: Wan Lao Er offended someone, and the guests left
Wan Laoer was walking forward with his head down when he felt he bumped into something. He immediately looked up and saw a man in a brand new thick cotton robe, looking down at him, fearing that the soup from the food in Wan Laoer's hand would spill on him.
Wan Laoer was not very relaxed in this kind of situation, and he bumped into a customer. He immediately blushed and apologized.
Wan Laosi was holding a bowl of braised pork with rice in one hand and a bowl of spicy and sour cabbage rice in the other. When he saw that his second brother had offended the guest who had just come in, his face changed, but he quickly reacted and immediately served the food in his hand to the guest with a decent smile on his face.
"Master, please enjoy your meal."
After delivering the food, Wan Lao Si immediately ran to Wan Lao Er. Wan Lao San had already delivered the food in his hand to the guests and also came to Wan Lao Er.
Wan Lao Si quickly took the food from Wan Lao Er and handed it to Wan Lao San, "Third brother, hurry up and deliver this to the guests. Don't keep them waiting anxiously."
Wan Laosi pulled the stunned Wan Laoer over and quickly apologized to the guest with a smile.
"Sorry, I'm sorry, are you okay?"
At this time, the man raised his head and looked at the two brothers who kept apologizing. He immediately sneered: "Oh, who did I think it was? It turned out to be you. It's really a narrow road for enemies to meet."
When Wan Lao Si and Wan Lao Er heard what the other party said, they quickly stood up and looked at the person who came. Wan Lao Er's heart sank when he saw this.
This man was exactly the man who bought the cow at the street corner a few days ago. Wan Laoer still remembered this man. He remembered that the man seemed to have plunged into cow dung at that time. It was really a narrow road for enemies to meet. They met an "old acquaintance" on the first day of their business opening.
When Wan Lao Er saw that it was this man, he was no longer afraid. He took a step forward and said with a stern face, "You are not welcome in my shop. We don't want to do business with you. Please leave."
Wan Laoer had a hunch that this man was not a good person, and that there was a grudge between them. Even if he earned the money for a meal from this man, this man would definitely be a troublemaker. He didn't want someone to cause trouble on the first day of his shop's opening. There were also distinguished guests waiting behind him, and he didn't want to disturb the guests' meal.
The man was already upset when he saw Wan Laoer, and now Wan Laoer actually chased him away. He felt even more upset and started yelling in public.
"Why are you chasing me away? Your family opened a shop to welcome customers, but you chased people away when you didn't do business. I think you are guilty, right? Is the food in your shop not clean, and you are afraid that I will find out, so you want to chase me away? You are dreaming. Besides, you soiled my clothes, and you haven't compensated me yet, how can I leave?"
The man looked like a scoundrel and found a stool to sit on.
Wan Lao Si looked at the man and then at Wan Lao Er in confusion. When did these two become enemies?
"Brother, what's going on? How do you know this guy? He doesn't look like a good person."
Wan Laosi glanced at the man and whispered in his ear.
"Hey, what are you mumbling about? My ears are working fine. Who do you think is not a good person? I think you are the one with shifty eyes and don't look like a good person."
The man slammed the table hard and stood up as if he was going to fight.
Wan Lao Er immediately protected Wan Lao Si behind him, not showing any weakness, he straightened his chest, glared with his eyes, and said with the same momentum as the other party, his voice was also filled with anger: "What? What do you want to do? We are not afraid of fighting, no one in the village dares to bully our family."
Old Lady Wan raised four children by herself, so she taught them from a young age that if they didn't obey, they should beat them until they obeyed, and that they should use their hands instead of their mouths. So the four children of the Wan family were good at fighting since they were young, and everyone in the village knew that Old Lady Wan, a widow, was not someone to be trifled with.
Seeing that Wan Laoer was not frightened by him at all and was still very arrogant, the man suddenly felt guilty and sat back down.
"Fight? I'm not afraid, but I'm wearing new clothes today, so don't let them ruin them. Let's discuss how to compensate me. I spent ten taels of silver on this set of clothes. You can either compensate me with ten taels of silver, or give me the cow you gave me last time."
The man's calculations were sound, but Wan Laoer didn't buy it at all. He sneered, "I can compensate you with money, but you should take off your clothes now. I want to buy you a new set of clothes with these ten taels of silver. You can't wear them now. I'll take a loss. You should add up the clothes inside to make up for the ten taels of silver. Do you want to take off your clothes now or get out now?"
The people watching the excitement in the store all started to make a fuss when they heard it, "Take it off, that's ten taels of silver, you won't get it again if you miss it, you're a man, running around the street naked and no one will look at you, take it off quickly, the silver will fly away in a moment, hahahaha."
The man was so angry at the laughter that he pointed at Wan Lao Er with a shaking finger and said, "Just wait, we are now enemies. You won't be able to keep this shop for long."
The man spat a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground fiercely, turned around and left the store.
Wan Laoer glared back without showing any weakness. He felt relieved only after watching the man leave.
At this time, Hu shouted, "Boss, check out."
Wan Lao Si looked at Wan Lao Er helplessly and quickly ran over to settle the account.
"Brother Hu, is the food good for you? Is it to your taste?"
Wan Laosi asked with a smile on his face.
Hu Da nodded in satisfaction, "Well, it's true, your chef's cooking skills are really good, you are not exaggerating, we brothers will come often in the future, and bring you customers, but, your second brother... Oh, forget it, you should be careful."
Hu Da glanced in the direction of Wan Laoer, seemed to be hesitant to speak, took out seventy-five coins from his pocket, put them on the table, and left.
Wan Laosi quickly bent down to collect the money, sent the few people to the door, and only turned back after watching them walk away.
At this time, several waves of customers came into the store, all ordering stir-fried dishes and pots. Wan Laosi was busy dealing with these customers and had no time to talk to Wan Laoer. After thinking about it, he decided to send Wan Laoer back to the backyard.
"Second brother, why don't you go to the back? Third brother and I can handle this. Go and talk to the mayor and the others. I see that you and the mayor get along well and he is very interested in farming. Go and keep the guests company."
Wan Laoer was half-persuaded and half-pushed by Wan Laosi into the backyard, and the door leading to the backyard was closed.
Wan Laosi then sighed and turned back. When he saw the guests, he immediately put on a smile and started interacting with them.
Wan Laosan secretly learned from his fourth brother how to deal with people, and he really learned a lot. In the future, he will come to the shop often to help. If he doesn't know how to deal with people, he might end up making things worse like his second brother.
It was not until the end of the hour of Wei that all the customers in the shop left, and the guests in the backyard also said goodbye one after another.
Qiu was supported by her maid and followed Wang Jiawei out. The mayor, Shen Qinghan and Wang Jiawei were all drunk. Wan Xingmo and Wan Jinshu looked okay, but they drank about five kilograms of liquor and could hardly stand.
"Old Third, hurry up and send the mayor home."
The second and the first Wan were already lying on the kang in the side room, drunk and unconscious. These two were accompanying three guests, and their alcohol tolerance was not as good as that of the people at the border, so they fell down after just one round of drinking.
Old Mrs. Wan could only ask Old Third Wan, who had been helping in the front and had not drunk any alcohol, to deliver the meal.
The Zhao family also took the opportunity to say goodbye and hurried back, otherwise it would be too late and they would have to travel at night.
Old Mrs. Wan tried to keep the person for a long time but failed, so she sent him to the gate.
Wan Laosi was so tired that he could not even straighten his back. After seeing off all the guests, he sat down on a stool and could not get up, crying out in pain.
Even the three brothers Wan Quan, Wan Xi and Wan Wen sat down on the ground, grimacing and shouting that they were tired.
In the kitchen, Wan San's wife had been holding the spoon for half a day and her arms were so sore that she could hardly lift them.
Wan Ersao and Shen Shi both sat under the stove to rest, massaging their shoulders, arms and legs.
After opening for noon, the Wan family’s people were already exhausted.
Moreover, up to now, the family has not had any meal, and now that they have some free time, their stomachs are growling.
Old Mrs. Wan was fine. She had been sitting under the stove making fire all afternoon without moving. It felt quite comfortable for her to stand up and stretch her muscles.
"You guys go to the backyard and take a rest first. I'll heat up the leftovers they haven't finished. But the bucket of steamed rice we made today is all sold out, so I'll make you some noodle soup."
How could the people be picky? The remaining dishes from entertaining the mayor and others were all delicious dishes, the kind they could only eat during the Chinese New Year.
Old Mrs. Wan was busy in the kitchen, Second Sister-in-law Wan helped to light the fire, and Third Sister-in-law Wan was too tired and had gone to rest. There would be another wave of business in the evening, so she had to take the time to rest for a while.
Little Fubao had fallen asleep. The little girl was sent away by Wan Laoer when it was time to eat. She happened to have had lunch with Zhao and the others, and she ate a lot of grease. Now she was full and sleeping soundly with Liu.
On the other side, after Wan Laosan sent the mayor home, on his way back, someone suddenly put a sack over his head, knocked him unconscious, and carried him away.
